Pigeons and pilgrims flock to sacred site in Nepal

Try telling that to a Tibetan Buddhist monk on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, who cheerfully doles out treats to a swarm of birds.

For their part, maroon-robed Tibetan monks and nuns flock to the nearby Bodhnath (also known as Bouddhanath) Stupa, a Buddhist temple that’s one of the most important, and most visited, religious sites in Nepal.

Believed to be about 700 years old, the stupa draws locals and Tibetan Buddhists, in exile from their land since China’s takeover of Tibet in the late 1950s, for prayer and meditation.
